Xie Jinyuan and the special commissioner naturally did not know the history that Duanwu knew. They are still dreaming that the British will cover the retreat of the independent regiment!
They still have illusions about the old colonists such as Britain, the United States, and France.
It's like a drowning person trying to catch a straw floating on the surface of the river.
Is such a person pathetic?
No, they are just struggling to survive in this war-torn world.
And judging from the current attitudes of the two people, even if Duan Wu told them the cause and effect, they would not listen.
People are always like this, they like illusory things, but they cannot see clearly the facts in front of them.
The same is true for the special commissioner, and so is Xie Jinyuan. It seems that the people here have not changed.
Duanwu didn't know what he could say to win their trust. Let them understand that the British are unreliable.
"Put me through the commission."
Duanwu said directly, and at this moment, the special correspondent who had just picked up the tea cup and took a sip of boiled water spurted it out with a pop.
He was just thinking about how to convince the mud-legged guy in front of him.
Yes, in the eyes of the special correspondent, Dragon Boat Festival is just a fool. He comes from a wild background with no background and no backing.
He only came to prominence in the battle at Sihang Warehouse. Then he was inexplicably made a colonel.
Of course, is it really baffling?
not necessarily!
Because just when Sun Yuanliang made this decision, he said this: If he can come back alive, what does a mere colonel mean to him? And if he can't come back, then what does being a colonel mean?
Sun Yuanliang's words have been very clear. If Dragon Boat Festival can go back alive, what does a mere colonel mean?
You can imagine that in the Huangpu Army, the Eighty-eighth Division and the Eighty-seventh Division were like a blowout. The war that so many top students could not win was won in the Dragon Boat Festival. So what does this colonel commander mean?
But on the other hand, if Duanwu died in battle, he died in battle. So what is the significance of this colonel?
So in Duanwu, the colonel commander, it was not because Sun Yuanliang drank too much that he casually made him a colonel commander. But he wants to use this method to inspire Dragon Boat Festival and win this war.
And the most important thing is that the newly formed independent group is a mixed bag.
There are local security groups, the regular army of the 88th Division, the Sichuan Army, and deserters from various places and even the regular army.
Is it possible to organize such a chaotic staffing into an independent regiment in a very short period of time without the military rank of colonel commander?
So Sun Yuanliang is not a fool. And Duanwu, the colonel leader, is not that easy to be.
However, the special correspondent didn't know the inside story, and even complained that Sun Yuanliang had a man with mud legs to be the leader, which was simply water in his head.
So, just when Duanwu said that he wanted to speak to the Chairman, the special correspondent choked on a mouthful of water. Water spurted out from the nostrils and covered the table.
The special correspondent coughed for a long time and finally stopped and asked: "Brother Dragon Boat Festival, cough, are you serious?"
"What do you think?"
Duanwu asked back, but the commissioner hesitated.
Because the Dragon Boat Festival in front of me is smelly and hard, and the oil and salt are not included. Seeing him talking to the soldiers very well, I didn't expect him to be in such trouble.
So he instinctively thought that it would be great if Duanwu himself could talk to the Chairman.
However, is it really okay to let Dragon Boat Festival disturb the Chairman?
A junior officer is just a regimental commander, and there are simply too many in the entire national army.
Talk directly to the Chairman? Are you kidding me?
Even if the brigade commander wants to talk to the chairman of the committee, he has to wait in line.
Those who can talk to the Chairman are general-level figures. Otherwise, he will be blocked at the level of secretary-general.
Headache!
At this time, the special correspondent took off his silver-rimmed glasses and kept rubbing the root of his nose.
But after a while, he still picked up the phone.
Because he had no choice, Duanwu was an uncontrolled junior officer. I want to tame the mud-legged person in front of me. He thought it was better to let him hit the wall first.
The commissioner dialed the phone and said, "I can dial the number, but the chairman is very busy. If he is unwilling to answer your call, then there is nothing I can do."
"If you don't answer my call, it means that the battle at Sihang Warehouse is of no importance at all. Since the chairman of the committee doesn't care, I think the commissioner doesn't have to insist anymore."
"··············"
The special correspondent was speechless and thought to himself: How could I meet such a helpless person?
But he did call the chairman of the committee.
The person who answered the phone was the secretary-general. When the Secretary-General heard that a junior military officer wanted to have a phone call with the Chairman, he got angry with the special commissioner.
The commissioner explained for a long time and then mentioned the words 'Si Xing Warehouse'. The Secretary-General then agreed to ask the Chairman for instructions.
The chairman of the committee was speaking on the podium at the dinner, and the audience was full of distinguished guests at the dinner. There are generals in the military, wealthy businessmen who are as wealthy as the enemy, and some intellectuals who are flattering.
Of course, ordinary intellectuals are not qualified to attend this dinner. Those are all great intellectuals, people with a good reputation. According to current parlance, they are big Vs.
Naturally, the Chairman came to them for his own purpose.
The Battle of Songhu was fought fiercely, and 300,000 Chinese soldiers died on the battlefield.
Although it was a disastrous defeat, the chairman still wanted to publicize it and create public opinion. It would be best to get support from established colonists such as Britain, the United States and France.
But little did he know that his idea was originally wrong.
Colonists are colonizers, and they cannot give up their own interests to help a powerful opponent grow.
Therefore, public opinion is just a trick to deceive children.
A robber breaks into your house, murders, sets fire to, commits adultery, plunders, and commits all kinds of evil. But you do nothing, just hold high the flag and strongly condemn, which is of no use.
But the old gentleman just didn't understand this and left the task of driving away the robbers to several other robbers. The end result is that all the robbers are full. And your home was destroyed, your money was robbed, and your wife and children were robbed.
The greatest tragedy in life is the inability to see reality clearly.
The chairman seems to be just an ordinary person. He is still encouraging those big Vs to write more indignant and good articles criticizing the Japanese aggression.
All the distinguished guests in the audience were filled with admiration and enthusiastic applause.
They are like a bunch of yes-men, their minds are full of mush.
At this moment, the secretary-general came in from the side door.
The Secretary-General did not dare to disturb the Chairman's interest and stood at the foot of the rostrum, waiting for the Chairman to finish speaking.
The chairman of the committee signaled that everyone could join the banquet, and then walked down from the stage.
The secretary-general bowed, held the chairman's hand and said: "There is a call from Sihang Warehouse. A junior officer who knows nothing about the world wants to talk to you!..."
